Tinkerbell is a fairy character from “Peter and Wendy”, a great book about childhood and the power of imagination. Only a supporting character at first, described in the play of J. M. Barrie as “a common fairy”, she has soon increased in popularity in the animated versions of Peter Pan, becoming the unofficial mascot of The Walt Disney Company and the centerpiece of its Disney Fairies franchise, inspiring the movies a series of movies centered on her. She is one of the most beloved Disney character among children, Tinkerbell coloring pages, video games, mascots and comics being a top line of merchandise. It is interesting to see how Disney animations can transform a fade, image-less character into a branding icon.

In Barrie’s play, Tinkerbell was a fairy who mended kettles and pots, a real tinker, speaking a strange “fairy language” that consists of the sounds of a tinkling bell. The first productions of the play represented this character using the reflection of a powerful lamp in a small hand mirror, which created the illusion of a playful circle of light on stage. Bells were used for her “voice”, some of them carefully selected from Switzerland by the writer himself. As a joke, on the programs, a Miss ‘Jane Wren’ was listed in the role of Tinkerbell. One of the reasons for this character’s success was its personality: very jealous, ill-tempered and vindictive towards Wendy, she is kind and loving to Peter, to the point of self-sacrifice. This personality based on extremes is explained by the fact that the fairy’s small size lets her have only one feeling at a time.

She is covered in fairy (or “pixie”) dust, which she sometimes spreads from her wand to help human fly if they truly believe they can.
